Ever wondered if you can get away with wearing just one contact lens instead of two? The answer is yes, in some cases. Some people are even prescribed a contact lens for only one eye.
But there’s a difference between being prescribed one contact lens and simply deciding to wear one of your normal pair. So let’s go through the reasons a person might consider wearing one contact, and whether or not it’s safe to do so.
It’s the middle of the day. You’re trying to work, and you just can’t concentrate. Your head is pounding, and your vision is blurry. What’s causing these symptoms?
There are several possible reasons for blurry vision and a headache. Let’s go through some of the most common causes, along with when it’s best to seek medical attention.
Are you struggling with monovision contacts? Wondering how long it will take to get used to them?
Adapting to monovision contacts can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Some people adjust quickly, while others need more time.
So, what kind of adaptation period are you looking at? And what does the process feel like?
Ever seen “plano” on a pair of glasses and wondered what it means? It’s not a special type of prescription. In eyewear, plano means the lenses have no corrective power.
Plano glasses don’t make things look bigger, smaller, closer, or farther away. They’re lenses with no corrective power, so they don’t change the focus of light entering your eyes the way prescription lenses do.
So, why would anyone wear glasses that don’t correct their vision? Well, there are actually quite a few reasons someone might want plano lenses, from fashion to eye protection.
Are you wondering if you can wear contact lenses and sunglasses at the same time? There’s typically no harm in wearing contacts and sunglasses together. But you shouldn’t double up on prescription correction.
If you require vision correction and want to wear sunglasses, you have two choices. You can wear contact lenses with non-prescription sunglasses. Or, you can opt for sunglasses that have your prescription built in.
Wondering which way you should go? Want to be sure it’s safe to wear both contacts and sunglasses? We’re here to explain it all.
